Thanks to the VAR, the Xolos of Tijuana managed to get a dramatic tie tonight on the field of the Caliente Stadium against León, a tie that was celebrated as a victory, despite the fact that the border team does not know the victory after 10 days played in the Tournament Closing 2024.
La Fiera, which took the lead in the 54th minute thanks to a goal from Federico Viñas, left Tijuana with a bitter taste, as it was three minutes away from achieving a second consecutive victory and the fourth of the season. They were left wanting, since a maximum penalty marked in compensation time took away the three units.
Those led by Miguel Herrera had control for several periods of the match, however, they could not reflect their dominance on the scoreboard, suffering from the lack of forcefulness that they have experienced throughout the season, in which they only registered six points, occupying the 16 in the general table, only above Juárez and Puebla.
The scoreboard opened until the 54th minute, when a long pass from Elías Hernández was won by Federico Viñas by putting his body on the defender who was marking him. The Uruguayan controlled the ball inside the area and at the same time turned to face the rival goal. With a strong cross shot he sent the ball away.
It is the fourth game in which the Uruguayan scores. He did it on Matchday 4, scoring a double in the victory against Santos, one more on Matchday 4 in the 2-2 draw against Mazatlán and another in the victory against Atlas on matchday seven.
The clock was about to end when, thanks to the VAR, the central referee whistled a penalty in favor of those from the border. Christian Rivera was in charge of validating the maximum penalty to put definitive numbers in the Estadio Caliente at minute 100, because it took several minutes to review the play.
